Our family has worked with many different tutors but Hesley and her team at Archimedes Academics (Zelda specifically) continues to impress us! Zelda has changed our lives. She has made such a positive impact on my daughter as a budding teenager. Zelda prepared my daughter for the ISEE, helped with every step in the high school admissions applications/interview process and continues to be my daughter's biggest cheerleader and super fan. Zelda has a special gift and is able to connect with her students in a way that I've never seen. We are so grateful for this wonderful team!
Archimedes Academics is a great option for standardized test tutoring. They have flexible scheduling options and give regular focused updates. My son liked working with Hesley and felt well prepared for the HSPT.
We’re very thankful to have found Archimedes Academics and the owner Hesley. They paired our child with the perfect tutor to help with her HSPT test. The tutor was knowledgeable, kind and above all else patient. Thank you and Don’t hesitate to contact this company for your child’s tutoring needs.
Hesley has been invaluable in supporting my child and getting them back on track with math. She has boosted their confidence and has kept them on top of other work by holding them accountable for their organization in a very kind and professional manner. Thank you for helping my family ☺️
I was referred to Archimedes Academics by a friend and Hesley paired us with miracle worker Zelda. Zelda came into a “crisis tipping point” for my 9th grader and quite literally was became thing that ever happened to our family. Zelda is a mentor, guru, tutor, cheerleader, and coach all wrapped up in the most beautiful, colorful package. We are so grateful for Archimedes Academics for sending us this angel.
Archimedes Academics has been a blessing. I recommend their tutoring wholeheartedly. Hesley and Zelda both listened to my daughter's needs and targeted her lessons to fill in the gaps in her math education so that she is better prepared for a middle school entrance exam and middle school in general. Zelda's tutoring sessions have been consistently thoughtful, appropriately challenging, and ultimately fun for my child.
Amazing experience with Hesley & her ability to facilitate a class for college essays. The teacher was engaged & very experience when it comes to the common app & other supporting questions that students need to address on college applications.
We are thrilled with Archimedes Academics! Their tutors are top notch! My son brought his ACT score up 6 points! My son also had Spanish tutoring from Archimedes Academics and brought his grade up to a B+ from a C-. We have had tutors over the years but none as engaging as the tutors we used at Archimedes!
Athena Frost and Hesley Harps did a fantastic job on introducing my son to his high school entrance exam. We were impressed of their teaching approach, discipline the sessions were very focused and efficient. My son got excepted to Loyola high school and St. Frances High school with the highest scores and with academic excellence going to Loyola High School.
We highly recommend Archimedes Academics.
Hesley Harps and Archimedes Academics did a fantastic job preparing two of our children for their middle school entrance exams. The magnitude of improvement in their text scores was a testament to Hesley's approach and diligence, and ultimately led to their acceptance at highly competitive private schools. She is excellent at identifying areas that need improvement and then tailoring homework and tutoring sessions that drive better test scores. She is also extremely good with the kids and we would recommend her to anyone.
We will forever be grateful for all the help, support and guidance Hesley has given our Daughter. She knows all there is to know about the HSPT entrance exam, what they’re looking for and can even help with interview prep. Our oldest had applied to a few Catholic High Schools that require the HSPT exam. This being super new to us I never realized how important this exam was until a couple weeks before her exam date. As a Mama I totally panicked and started googling prep courses. Thankfully I came across Archimedes Academics! Hesley (the owner) was so kind and explained everything in detail as to what we should expect, she even answered my 900 questions I’d ask randomly via text 🤣. Anyways since we were so last minute we wouldn’t be able to complete an entire prep course, so Hesley suggested tutoring. Our girl did a practice test at first which was structured exactly how it would be for the real exam, she totally bombed the test 😩. Her class of students had really been affected by Covid, and needed to brush up on a lot of Subjects. We would’ve had no idea exactly how behind she was had we not taken the practice exam so I highly suggest doing so if you haven’t. Hesley fit us into her already busy schedule and went over each subject with our girl. She perfectly planned a tutoring lesson brushing up on each area our daughter needed help with the most. After the tutoring, Hesley even gave us a login for an online tutoring program that was catered to our daughters exact needs. After only one week of working on the online program, and a couple one on one tutoring lessons with Hesley, our daughter felt so much more confident and took her test that Saturday. We recently did our interviews, this is when they also go over your HSPT scores and classes they suggest for their first year. I cried!! Our girl was offered an academic scholarship AND asked to be a part of their honors program. I kid you not if you had seen her test scores prior you wouldn’t even believe how much she had progressed thanks to Hesley! None of this would’ve been possible without all of her support and guidance! She’s straight to the point, extremely intelligent and has a way of encouraging your teen to want to learn and do their best! After their tutoring lessons she would even text me with suggestions on what we should work on next. After our most amazing experience we also referred Hesley to another Mama friend in the same predicament we were. She also couldn’t be more thankful for our recommendation and absolutely loved everything about Hesley’s study plan! Super long review, but I literally can’t say enough about our experience and the outcome! If you’re hesitant like I was, just give it a shot and you won’t regret it I promise! I couldn’t think of a better investment than our kids education and to think of all the support and guidance we received in such a short period has truly been a godsend. I’ll forever be grateful and thankful for you Hesley! You will now be our forever go to tutor! 🙏😊🙌❤️
Best tutoring service we've ever used for our son. Hesley devised a customized plan to meet our/his objectives for high school placement testing and our assigned tutor was Rachel. She was amazing. Worked really well with our son, motivated him, and coached him on using new testing strategies that really paid off. He started out in the 70th percentile and ended up in the 96th! They made the investment worth it and are a true pleasure to work with: at once professional and really great with kids (a teenager, in this case). Highly recommend!!
Thank you Archimedes for preparing my son for his HSPT test. He just got accepted to Loyola high school with a scholarship based on his academic achievements and high test scores! I am so happy we used this service!
Hesley & Archimedes Academics are top notch tutors, mentors & much more. We trusted Hesley & her team of tutors to help mentor our daughter through the HSPT process when she was applying to private school. Not only did she score well but she was given the tools to succeed & be accepted to the high school of her choice. WE are now in the process of college applications & so far we have been supported 100% by Archimedes with ACT tutoring from an amazing coach/tutor & college personal statement foundation. Hesley is a pro & can help anyone with almost anything regarding test prep, essay writing, high school tutoring for any subject. Nothing is too small and nothing is too large. I am very pleased. -- Mary Perkins (La Canada, CA)
I’ve tried several tutoring places for my kids and I’ve been most happy with the qualified tutors at Archimedes Academics. Give them a try and I think you’ll agree.
I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Hesley and Archimedes, but I'll try. I decided to go back to school to get my MA in Psychology and needed some help with my admissions essay/interview prep. It's been 15 years since I was last in school and needed a refresher to say the least. Hesley was a delight to work with. Not only was she super knowledgeable, but she also helped boost my confidence. In the end, I wrote a paper that I was really proud of, and was more than prepared for my interview. With her help, I got into the school of my choice and they were so impressed that I was admitted 6 months early. I couldn't have done it without Hesley's. Worth every penny.
We have relied on Archimedes for both HSPT and SAT for our three boys, and they have increased all of their scores significantly. The tutoring sessions are focused and efficient. We recommend Archimedes.
Both of our children had the benefit of working with Archimedes Academics. Our daughter used their services for her Catholic High School entrance exam and our son for his Junior High School entrance exam. The sessions were great. The kids tutor was organized, focused and helped both kids achieve their goals. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
